As a broker with Telluride Properties, Mike is closing in on nearly $120 million in sales ranging in scale from affordable housing for locals, to luxurious alpine getaways for part-time residents. With the magnificent San Juan Mountains as his home, Mike finds it a welcome privilege to turn others onto the region’s charm and does whatever possible to make his clients’ dreams come true.
Additionally, Mike finds ample ways to give back to the Telluride community. He used his skills to complete a fundraising program for Mountainfilm and the Trust for Public Lands, which transformed 10 acres of land into open space with the proceeds donated to Mountainfilm. Mike has served various leadership roles in the community and with Mountainfilm. With the latter, he first served as a volunteer for a couple years, its executive director for one year, its past president for several years, and currently serves on its executive committee. Mike also served on the board of the Telluride Association of Realtors, was on its Professional Standards committee, and acted as the driving force behind formulating the association’s First Time Homebuyer’s Fund.
Mike and his wife, Jennifer, have been married 13 years, having met while Jennifer (an Annapolis native), was residing in Aspen. The two enjoy traveling the world and have covered close to 30 countries. Mike enjoys surfing and SCUBA diving while vacationing, and admits knowing how to ask for a cold beer in quite a few languages. When home, however, Mike and Jennifer love getting out into the mountains with their young son, Nicolas, their young daughter, Ava, and border collie, Mesa, as much as possible. Summers are spent hiking and winters are broken up between alpine and Nordic skiing.
"I'd be glad to provide solid personal and professional references upon request. I hope to have the opportunity to earn your business and show you my perspective of Telluride!"
